From the director of Forrest Gump and Cast Away comes the year's most seductive thriller. When Intelligence Officer Max Vatan (Academy Award® nominee Brad Pitt) learns his wife (Academy Award® winner Marion Cotillard) may be conspiring with the enemy, he has only 72 hours to prove her innocence and save his family before he must do the unthinkable.

On a scale of one to five, one being a prostate exam and a five being your boss actually does believe you're sick so your free to go to the home opener of your favorite sports club, I give it a three. Or the equivalent of finding out chicken salad is the sandwich tucked away in your lunch bucket with an apple your wife/husband packed for you today and not livercheese and pickle loaf like last Tuesday. Cheers and yeah for mediocre acting categorized as high art because hey, look it's a Brad Pitt film.

I can't say I loved it and give it a 4 star rating, but I really liked the movie overall. Well acted, love the era and the historic details such as the clothes, and the guessing up to the end. The end was definitely a tear jerker, but it had a good resolution for the audience. It's a love story set in a difficult time of our world history and it centers around the couple and you can feel the build up throughout the movie.

It may come as a surprise to many, but on occasion the life of a spy can be a seriously boring thing. You are most definitely watching the wrong screen if you expected suspenseful drops, secret messages, invisible ink and long codes, or the exciting hunting down of a traitor. What you get instead is a short story of marital bliss, until a Canadian captain (Pitt) learns from his British military boss that his French wife (Cotillard) may be a German spy. Brad Pitt spends the rest of the movie staring at people with blanks in the eyes and without saying much.
